i joined the house. i explained to them our aim was to produce an interim agreement with iran that could lead to a final settlement addressing all concerns about the nuclear program. we have always been clear because iran's programs is so extensive and crucial aspects have been concealed in the past any agreement would have to be detailed and gives assurance to would be the issue properly addressed. i said we knew such a deal was on the table and we would do our utmost to bridge the narrow gap between the parties and conclude the agreement. on wednesday negotiators resumed their work in geneva, and on joinedy i and the other the court. successfully, a

significant step to enhancing security of the middle east and preventing nuclear her liberation worldwide. i will cover the extensive commitment to ron has made, the sanctions relief it has been offered in return, and the steps commitment a ron -- iran has made. duration oft has a six months. it sets out actions to be taken by both sides as well as the elements to be negotiated in a final settlement. i placed a copy in the library of the house, but i wish to highlight its most important aspect. iran has made

significant commitments. it has undertaken to eradicate its stockpile of the most concerning form of radium enriched above five percent by diluting half of it to a level of less than five are sent and converting the remaining half to oxide. they will not install new centrifuges. they will only produce to replace existing machines. they will not install or bring into operation advanced could enablehat them to produce a dangerous level of uranium more quickly. they will cap the stockpile of five percent in the highest risk

form i converting newly and rich uranium into oxide, and it will or establish a reconversion facility. they have agreed to an enhanced monitoring of the nuclear going beyond inspections. they include access to workshops and to mines and mills. providel also additional information, including plans for nuclear facilities. a ran -- iran will not commission a reactor or transfer fuel or test at additional fuel or install any remaining components. this agreement means the

elements of the nuclear program thought to prevent the greatest risk cannot make progress in the interim agreement. they cannot use these groups to nuclearser to obtaining weapons capabilities. most interests elements are back.ly frozen but rolled the agreement involves 200 kilograms of enriched uranium that have been built up and stockpiled for several years. second, in return for these commitments, they will receive limited sanctions relief from the united states and the european union. for its part, the united states will pull efforts to reduce crude oil sales. they will repatriate some of its relief. they will allow licensing of state repairs for airlines. they will establish a financial

channel for legitimate trade, including payment to international organizations and iranians studying abroad great. we will suspend since sanctions on oil. this will allow for services to third states on oil. we will also suspend the prohibition of transfer of petrochemical products and suspend blocks on imports of gold and precious metals. the core sanctions on oil and gas will remain in place. we will also increase the authorization threshold for financial sanctions for humanitarian trade with iran. the council administers will amend the sanctions and new provisions will apply to all eu member states. this is estimated to cost $7

billion. there will be no new sanctions adopted. however, the bulk of international sanctions on iran will remain in place. this includes the oil embargo, which restricts oil purchases from iran. ballistic missile related goods and technologies -- including frozen revenue in accounts outside of iran, including the central bank. all iranian assets remain frozen. iranian leaders and key individuals have their assets frozen. they will be banned from traveling to the eu and u.s. they cannot use financial messaging services of banks. these sanctions will not be lifted until a settlement is

reached. we will enforce them all robustly. iran still has a powerful incentive to reach a comprehensive solution. that is the third aspect of the agreement. the agreement sets up the elements of a comprehensive solution. it will conclude within one year. these elements include the rights and obligations under the nonproliferation treaty. the full resolution concerns related to the heavy water research reactor -- monitoring, including additional protocol. in return for full confidence by the international community, the plan of action includes an enrichment program with limits. it is part of a comprehensive agreement where nothing is

agreed until everything is agreed. this comprehensive solution, if and when agreed, will lead to the listing of all un security council sanctions, as well as multilateral sanctions related to iran's nuclear program. reaching this interim agreement was a difficult and painstaking process. there is a huge amount of work to be done to implement it. implementation will begin following technical discussions with iran. we hope that the sanctions will be concluded by the end of january. a joint commission will be established to monitor the implementation of these measures. we will work to resolve outstanding issues. the fact that we have achieved, for the first time in nearly a decade, an agreement that rolls back their nuclear program, should give us heart that this work can be done and a comprehensive agreement can be

attained. on an issue of such complexity, and given the fact that any agreement would be worthwhile, it has to involve compromises. such an agreement is bound to have critics. we are right to test their readiness to act in good faith. to work with the rest of the international community and to enter into agreements. if they do not abide by that commitment, they will bear a heavy responsibility. if we did not take the opportunity to attempt such an agreement, then we ourselves would be guilty of a grave error. if we did not have this agreement, the pressure would not be alleviated at all. it is also true that there would be no restraint on advancements. no block on their centrifuges or barrier to prevent them from bringing into operation there heavy water reactor. no limitation on the many actions which could take them closer to a nuclear weapons capability. the bringing together of this agreement was all by permanent

members of united nations security council. it sends a powerful signal. it is only a beginning, but there is no doubt that this is an important, necessary, and completely justified step. the restrictions give us the time to negotiate a conference of settlement. i pay tribute to my foreign minister colleagues and our foreign office staff, who played an indispensable role. we will apply the same rigor and determination that we have shown in these negotiations to the implementation of the agreement and to the search for a conference of settlement. at the same time, we will continue to be open to improvements. we will visit iran shortly. this agreement has shown that the combination of asher expressed in her sanctions,

coupled with readiness to negotiate, is the right policy. it has been the united approach of this country to pursue negotiations. there is cross party support. we have been steadfast in first doing this two party policy. we are seeking a peaceful solution. this is true to that approach. this will remain our policy over the coming months. as we build on and implement this third step on the long journey to making the middle east and the whole world safer from nuclear proliferation. >> can i thank the foreign secretary for his statement? the foreign secretary was

generous enough to end his remarks by recognizing the reality of the bipartisan approach. to characterize this house and this country?s approach over recent years, including by my right honorable friend. let me echo that and add that all of those involved in the geneva negotiations, including the foreign secretary, deserve real credit for their role in securing this deal. in particular, the work of the european union. cathy ashton has been fundamental. indispensable to the agreement that was finally reached. we on the house feel pride in the role the baroness ashton has played. she has shown -- we offer our sincere congratulations. we do stand united in believing that they were developing nuclear weapons.

the deal agreed in geneva was necessary and important. iran has, over recent years, proceeded with its enrichment program. this is not a perfect deal, nor is it guaranteed to lead to a comprehensive resolution. based on the secretary?s statement, it appears to address a number of terms. first, it caps every aspect of their nuclear program. second, it includes strong mechanisms. third, it does not concede that they have a right to enrich. i would like to ask about each of these three points. you will be aware that the agreement does not call for a plan. what steps are envisaged to ensure that this facility is

ultimately decommissioned? the secretary made reference to the heavy water research reactor. you specified access for the inspectors. the deal does not set out the frequency with which inspectors will have access. can you give us further details? the foreign secretary did not mention -- nor did the final text. the deal requires iran to allow access to the base where they are suspected of detonating weapons. there has been much speculation over the last 24 hours about the absence of the phrase ?right to enrich.? could the foreign secretary explain the understanding of whether the absence specifies a

difference or whether this is a shared understanding on the issue? the speaker seeks to prevent iran from furthering its enrichment program. they could also ease the pressure on iran and invite a comprehensive resolution. given this risk, can the foreign secretary state how you will prevent that outcome and what steps will continue negotiations on a comprehensive deal within the time frame set out? the sanctions relief is effective immediately. it is a necessary step to secure the concessions. pressure must still be maintained. can the secretary offer the house what the next effect will be?

as of yesterday, around the capabilities being extended, that is welcomed. this interim agreement does not prevent future progress. he would be far better to secure all enrichment and all relative facilities. one key test of this interim agreement is whether it has been agreed in principle and can be put into practice. keeping sanctions tight and verification intrusive and all options on the table. a second test will be whether this can be translated into the comprehensive agreement. building on the agreement this weekend, to a final resolution. this agreement, however, will give us the time and flexibility to negotiate that much more difficult and complex final agreement to dismantle much of iran's nuclear program. the government can be assured that it will have our support.

>> i am grateful for the support of the right honorable gentleman. there has indeed been a bipartisan approach for a long time. he is quite right to say at the end of his remarks about the importance of keeping sanctions tight. this is very important. indeed, the pressure to reach the comprehensive agreement -- he is right that there is no such agreement that can be perfect. it is the product of negotiations and compromise. nor is it guaranteed to lead to a comprehensive agreement. it is, in my judgment, the only way to a conference of agreement. while it is the criticism that some have made that we should have concentrated on moving straight to a final and comprehensive agreement, from everything i have seen ?

it would not have been possible to do that. while we were negotiating such a conference of agreement, the progress of the program that is now brought to a stop would have continued. this is a crucial step on the way to a comprehensive agreement. it makes it possible to set about negotiating them. he asked for specific questions about how this relates to the plants. there are specific references in the agreement. iran announces that it will not make any further advances of its activities. the fuel enrichment plants that each -- a footnote on the second page of the agreement. it provides for specific provisions. no further enrichment over five percent. not feeding iranian hexa fluoride into the others and so

on. there are specific requirements on the plan. that is the case in each of these plans. the longer-term future -- including whether some of them operate at all, it's up to the final comprehensive agreement. that has to be addressed at that stage. he asked about -- this remains a point of difference between iaea and iran. this is another aspect of the program that must be addressed as part of a comprehensive final settlement. and he asked about the urgency. it is important to put the $7 billion of relief into perspective. he referred to the $7 billion being effective immediately. actually, the $7 billion of section relief is available over the period of the six months. when that begins, which we hope is the end of january, a good deal is the unfreezing of assets.

they will be unfrozen in stages. they do not receive $7 million on the first day. it is important to have that $7 billion in perspective. in january, the oil minister sees a fall in exports. between $4 billion and $8 billion every month. reports suggested that they have between $60 billion and $100 billion of assets frozen overseas. the $7 billion of relief is a very small proportion of the total frozen assets and total effect of sanctions applied to iran. that is why i say that the way that we are doing the sanctions

relief leaves iran with a huge incentive. they want wider relief from sanctions. that will help to maintain the urgency. of course, all of our diplomatic activities, which we will now seek to maintain the momentum behind this agreement -- as we do want to negotiate the comprehensive settlement, we will convey that urgency as well. you can be assured that we will leave no stone unturned. >> may i just briefly offer my tribute to the right honorable gentleman. it can fairly be said that he was not met with universal approval. in the light of mr. netanyahu's public response to this agreement, what assessment does my right honorable friend make of the risk of israel taking some unilateral action, which might have the effect of undermining the agreement? what representations has he made to the israeli government against taking such action?

>> the prime minister has discussed during the negotiations over the last week of this agreement -- i think it is important to understand the concerns about any agreement. but it is also very important to explain to them, to ask them, what the alternative to this agreement would be. the alternative would involve iran getting nuclear weapons or having a nuclear weapon. so, we have to be very clear that this is a compelling argument for the agreement. of course, we would discourage so, we have to be very clearngd that these are compelling

arguments for the agreement. discourage anybody in the world from taking any steps that would undermine this agreement. we will make it very clear. >> mr. jack straw. secretary for the honorable friend on the bench. may i specified the great appreciation to the secretary for the effort that he has put into this. iranians are among the toughest negotiators and extract every last ounce may i say that i hope that he accepts the momentum being kept up. the agreements that we have
